They ask their agent to run `get_email_campaign_summaries` and then follow up with specific calls like `get_contact_engagement_rates`. The agent pulls the data, giving the director the full story in one chat window. ### Cleaning Up Leads A sales team identifies that several leads were added incorrectly. Instead of logging into Constant Contact and manually changing fields, they ask their agent to `get_contacts`, filter the list, and then run `update_contact` on the specific records. ### Preparing for a Major Launch The team has gathered new leads from a form. They don't want them in the main mailing list yet. They use `sign_up_form` to capture the data, then run `create_segment` and `add_list_memberships` to put them into a specific 'Pre-Launch VIP' group. ### Database Migration The company is moving old contact lists. Instead of downloading CSVs, they use `export_contacts` and then feed the clean list back into the system via `import_contacts_json`, ensuring no data gets lost. ## Benefits - Stop switching tabs to check stats. You can get all performance data—like opens and clicks using `get_campaign_opens` and `get_campaign_clicks`—without leaving your chat interface. - Keep your audience clean and ready for launch. Use tools like `add_tags_to_contacts` or `create_segment` to quickly isolate the exact group you need, rather than mailing everyone. - Automate cleanup tasks. Don't manually delete records; run `bulk_delete_contacts` or use `update_contact` to handle database hygiene instantly. - Build and deploy on demand. You can write a campaign using `create_campaign`, then immediately test it with `test_campaign`, all in one chat session. - Know your limits. Use `get_user_privileges` to verify who has access before running any critical updates, keeping the account secure. ## How It Works The bottom line is, it lets you run complex marketing workflows using only natural language prompts. 1. Subscribe to this MCP and enter your Constant Contact Access Token. 2. Tell your agent what you need—for example, 'Create a campaign for Q3 sales.' 3. Your AI client sends the request; the MCP executes the action in Constant Contact and returns the status or data. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I bulk add contacts using the `add_list_memberships` tool?** You simply provide the list names and the contact IDs (or criteria) to your agent. It handles adding large groups of people at once, saving you hours of manual work. **Can I check my account's permissions using `get_user_privileges`?** Yes. Running `get_user_privileges` shows exactly what the current access token can do—whether it can delete lists, update users, or just read data. **What's the difference between `create_segment` and creating a list?** A segment is a filtered view of an existing list. You use `create_segment` to define rules (e.g., 'all contacts over 35 who opened last month'), while `create_list` makes a permanent, empty container. **How do I get the performance data for specific individuals? Use `get_contact_engagement_rates`.** You provide the contact's unique ID to your agent. It pulls their history and shows you their open rate and click rate, helping you identify who is most engaged. **How do I check if my email campaign is ready to send using the `test_campaign` tool?** You can run a test email immediately. This sends a draft copy of your campaign to you so you can review formatting, links, and overall appearance without notifying any subscribers. **What is the best way to get a complete, downloadable record of my subscriber base using `export_contacts`?** The tool exports your entire contact database into a CSV file. This lets you take the raw data outside the platform for deep analysis in external tools like Excel or Google Sheets. **If I suspect my campaign is having delivery problems, how do I check bounces using the `get_campaign_bounces` tool?** This report tracks all bounced emails for a specific campaign. Reviewing these details helps you identify bad email addresses or technical issues with your sending domain. **I need to correct a subscriber's email or name; how do I use the `update_contact` tool?** You can update individual contact details, like correcting an email address or updating demographic information. This ensures your mailing list always uses accurate user data. **Can I see how many people opened my last email campaign?** Yes! Use the `get_campaign_opens` tool with your campaign ID. Your agent will return the list of contacts who opened the email along with timestamps. **How do I check what permissions my current API token has?** Simply ask the agent to run the `get_user_privileges` action. It will list all authorized scopes and privileges associated with your connected account. **Can I get a high-level overview of my account details?** Yes, the `get_account_summary` tool provides organization names, contact information, and other core account metadata in a single query.
